    The title and the body of your question are not the same. In your title you are asking for "Best ways", which I interpret as top of the list ways to improve tactics. But in the body of your post you are asking for "the best way", which is different. Can you clarify your question?

  • I expanded my answer below. Hopefully you will find it useful. It does not give any simple answers. Because there are no simple answers :) Cheers!

  • There still some open questions here, for example a) How to make the most of the combinations you weren't able to solve (the ones you have to look to the solution, and then say aha!)? b) Even if you were able to solve, how do you train yourself to be able to create the conditions to make a similar combination in a real game? For example Spielmann on Alekhine said: "I can comprehend Alekhine's combinations well enough; but where he gets his attacking chances from and how he infuses such life into the very opening - that is beyond me." (en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Alexander_Alekhine).
